Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 3/4 cups milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Whipped cream (for topping)

Caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts (for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Make the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. It's acceptable if the batter is slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy waffles.

    Prepare the Apple Filling: In another bowl, combine the diced apples, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, fresh lemon juice, and packed brown sugar. Toss the ingredients until the apples are evenly coated. Set the mixture aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

      Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is ready for cooking.

        Cook the Waffles: Once the waffle maker is hot, pour a ladleful of the waffle batter into the center of the cooking surface, spreading it slightly. Top the batter with a generous spoonful of the prepared apple filling, then pour additional batter over the apples to seal them in. Close the waffle maker and cook according to manufacturer instructions, typically around 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. Repeat this process with the remaining batter and filling until all are cooked.

          Assemble the Sandwiches: Allow the waffles to cool slightly before assembling. Place one waffle on a plate and add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. Carefully layer another waffle over the whipped cream and finish with a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a delightful crunch, feel free to sprinkle chopped nuts on top.

            Serve: Cut the sandwich in half for easier eating or serve it whole for a hearty treat. Enjoy the warmth and richness of your creation!
